Contract Prince

Chapter 38

Although Shangguanlan and his wife have seen people well, they have avoided the world for many years, and they don't know much about the ever-changing court affairs.Therefore, I can only tell Gu Yunjing to be careful in everything.

Gu Yunjing was exhausted all day, and her body was also exhausted. After bidding farewell to Shangguanlan's family, she withdrew from the inner room and walked towards the plum garden.

Plum Garden is the elegant name of the small courtyard where she lived in those days, and it got its name because of the abundance of plum blossoms around it.It was March, and the plum blossoms were just blooming, leaving behind a fragrance all over the courtyard.When Gu Yunjing pushed open the small door of the plum garden, he saw Xiao Muxue standing under the plum blossom tree.

The wind blew, and the plum blossoms all over the tree fell like rain.Xiao Muxue closed her eyes, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, she gently stretched out her palm, and caught the plum blossom that happened to fall in her palm.There were still a few plum blossoms hanging down on her shoulders, but Xiao Muxue didn't know it.

The fragrance of flowers makes people more beautiful.A line of poetry flashed in Gu Yunjing's mind: Fallen Blossoms are independent.She didn't make a sound, and couldn't bear to disturb Xiao Muxue, she just stood in the distance and quietly looked at the stunning woman in white, as if admiring the most beautiful picture in the world, her eyes were full of love and pity.

Gu Yunjing was originally physically and mentally exhausted, but when she saw the princess under the plum blossom tree, her exhaustion seemed to disappear without a trace.If time can stop passing, then she must most hope that time will be frozen in this scene.

Xiao Muxue kneaded the plum blossoms in her palm, put them between her nose and sniffed them again and again, and opened her eyes after a long time.What caught my eye was the intoxicated look on the young man's face.

Gu Yunjing came over and asked, "Your Highness, haven't you rested yet?"

Xiao Muxue shook her head slowly: "At first I planned to rest, but after I walked in and saw the plum blossoms all over the yard, I suddenly lost all sleepiness."

The young man smiled faintly: "It seems that His Highness likes plum blossoms very much."

Xiao Muxue couldn't hide her love for plum blossoms, and said: "Plum blossoms are the most otherworldly flowers in the world, and also the most resilient flowers. They don't compete with other flowers, they always bloom silently. I like it very much. "

Gu Yunjing said: "Sparse shadows slant horizontally, water is clear and shallow, dark fragrance floats in the moon dusk. Plum blossoms are beautiful, extremely elegant. I like it very much."

The boy looked at Xiao Muxue and said: "Although the plum blossoms here are not bad, they are not the best. I know a place where the plum blossoms are in full bloom. If your highness is interested, next time you have time, Yun Jing can take you to watch it."

Xiao Muxue asked: "Where is that?"

Gu Yunjing replied: "Puxing Temple. After Tao Ce's matter is resolved, we will have time to go there to enjoy the plum blossoms."

Hearing Gu Yunjing mention Tao Ce's matter, Xiao Muxue's face became a little heavy, she stared and said: "I don't know how Tao Ce is now? I don't know when he can be rescued."

"Just now I got some information from Master, I believe it will be of great help to Tao Ce's case. We follow this information, and if nothing happens, we can find out a lot of clues."

Xiao Muxue didn't know the inside story of the conversation between Gu Yunjing's master and his disciples, she said: "I would like to hear the details."

Gu Yunjing told Xiao Muxue the truth about the conversation with Shangguanlan and others in the inner room, and of course deliberately concealed the characteristics of the medicinal effect of Chun.Xin.Dong.

Xiao Muxue frowned deeply, "It seems that the forces behind Lu Zhong are not simple."

Gu Yunjing sighed slightly: "Yes, we need to be extra careful when fighting in the future."

It's rare to be able to enjoy an elegant time alone with Xiao Muxue, Gu Yunjing didn't want to spoil this atmosphere, she said slowly: "Now that we know the details of the enemy, we don't have to be tense all the time, we can have a good time Calm down and drink a few sips of tea. Let's go and sit in the house."

In Gu Yunjing's house, besides books, there are all kinds of wood carvings.These wood carvings are extremely exquisite and lifelike.After Xiao Muxue saw it, she couldn't help sighing: "These wood carvings are so beautiful, are you all carvings?"

Hearing Xiao Muxue's praise, Gu Yunjing was very happy.She said happily: "If Your Highness the Princess likes any wood carvings, you can just take them."

After Xiao Muxue looked around for a week, her eyes fell on a wooden sculpture of a small figure.Compared with other exquisitely crafted woodcarvings, the woodcarving of the villain looks very ordinary, but it strongly catches the eyes of the sixth princess.Because it is carved with statues of Gu Yunjing and Shangguan Xiruo.

Although the carving is a little clumsy, you can still see it if you look closely. It is the appearance of Gu Yunjing and Shangguan Xiruo when they were children.On the left is a young boy with delicate features, and on the right is an innocent little girl. They hold hands and smile brightly.

Gu Yunjing saw that the princess had been staring at the villain woodcarving. She picked up the woodcarving and said softly: "This is a birthday present from sister Xiruo when I was 12 years old. I like carving things very much. Later, Xiruo Ruo sister asked me to teach her how to carve. After learning for a month, she finally carved something, which is this work."

When Shangguan Xiruo first learned how to carve, his fingers were scarred by a carving knife.Looking back now, Gu Yunjing couldn't help being moved again, she said: "Although the woodcarving of this villain is not very good, the affection of sister Xiruo has always remained in my heart."

Shangguan Xiruo really touched her a lot.Her mother died when she was young, and she came to Wangyou Valley with a sick body.

When she first arrived, she was unfamiliar with the place, so she was vigilant about everything around her.Because of the loss of her mother since childhood, coupled with her background, little Gu Yunjing always seemed very lonely.Little Shangguan Xiruo was like a pistachio, trying his best to make Gu Yunjing happy, and gradually swept away the haze in her heart.

Regardless of the vicissitudes of life, no matter how the years change, those childhood memories will never be erased, and the touch will always remain in my heart.

Seeing Gu Yunjing's high spirits, Xiao Muxue sighed softly.

Xiao Muxue didn't want to appreciate the wood carving any more, and said hastily: "I'm a little tired, I'm going to rest first."

Gu Yunjing wanted to introduce more sculptures to Xiao Muxue, but seeing that Xiao Muxue was going to rest, she had no choice but to give up.Although there was a little regret in her heart, she still thoughtfully said: "Your Highness must be tired, go and rest."

Xiao Muxue entered the bedroom and lay on the bed tossing and turning, unable to calm down for a long time.She thought about what happened to her these days, focusing on her and Gu Yunjing.

Xiao Muxue also couldn't figure out what kind of emotion she had for Gu Yunjing.She obviously likes women, but she always cares about Gu Yunjing inexplicably.Seeing the Prince Consort and Shangguan Xiruo loving each other, Xiao Muxue felt sad intentionally or unintentionally.

The princess muttered to herself: "Could it be that I fell in love with Gu Yunjing?" She was quickly frightened by her own thoughts, no, she should only be grateful and admiring Gu Yunjing.

Yes, it must be so.The reason why I don't like seeing Gu Yunjing and Shangguan Xiruo together must be related to the content of the contract.It was written in the contract that she and the son-in-law had to put on a show in front of others and maintain the relationship between husband and wife.

After coming to Wangyou Valley, the son-in-law seemed to have completely forgotten the contents of the contract.Xiao Muxue felt that she should remind Gu Yunjing to fulfill her contractual obligations.

After the sixth princess successfully dumped the blame on the contract, she could finally sleep with peace of mind.

Gu Yunjing was completely ignorant of Xiao Muxue's ever-changing psychology, and continued to fiddle with her sculptures outside.Fiddled with it from side to side, until sleepiness hit her, and she fell asleep on the table.

Gu Yunjing didn't wake up until dusk when Shangguan Xiruo came to call for someone.

"Brother Yunjing, sister Princess, are you still resting? It's dinner time now, mother asked me to call you to eat."

Gu Yunjing rubbed his eyes, got up, stretched his arms, and said to Shangguan Xiruo: "Sister Xiruo, you go and answer the teacher's words first, and say that I will come later. Your Royal Highness should still be resting. Go in and let her know."

Shangguan Xiruo really wanted to stay with Gu Yunjing for a while, but remembering Shangguan Lan's confession, she still held back.

The girl reluctantly said: "Okay, you guys go ahead, I'll go first."

After Shangguan Xiruo left, Gu Yunjing walked into the bedroom.When she came in, Xiao Muxue was still sleeping soundly, a lovely smile floated on the corner of her mouth, it was so peaceful and serene, revealing two cute dimples.

Gu Yunjing thought to herself: The sixth princess must be having a dream.

Used to seeing Xiao Muxue's cold and icy appearance, seeing her smile suddenly, Gu Yunjing really felt a little flattered.After all, Xiao Muxue's smile is rare to see in a hundred years.

The sixth princess seems to be more beautiful when she smiles. For the son-in-law, Xiao Muxue's smile has a breathtaking effect.Gu Yunjing looked at Xiao Muxue on the bed, and couldn't bear to leave her eyes for a moment.

Xiao Muxue who fell asleep lost her usual majesty and daunting feeling.Gu Yunjing slowly walked to Xiao Muxue's side so that he could appreciate the princess's flourishing beauty from a closer distance.

Xiao Muxue is so beautiful, so beautiful that it makes people want. Stop. No. Impossible.The more Gu Yunjing looked at her, the more intense the emotions in his heart became. Gu Jing Wubo's heart seemed to be suddenly hit by a violent storm.

After all, she has just started to fall in love, and she can't control her emotions very well.In the face of the person you like, it is easy to mess up if you are not careful.

If Xiao Muxue was awake at this time, Gu Yunjing would naturally not have violated the rules, but the sixth princess was asleep, which undoubtedly provided Gu Yunjing with a good opportunity.

Gu Yunjing kept rubbing his fingers, with endless tenderness in his eyes.She slowly stretched out her palm, and involuntarily moved towards Xiao Muxue's beautiful face.

Just when the son-in-law's hand was about to touch the princess's face, Xiao Muxue gently turned over and suddenly woke up.Gu Yunjing wanted to pull his hand back, but it was too late.

But at this time, under the gaze of Xiao Muxue's ice-cold eyes, Gu Yunjing naturally couldn't continue her actions.Neither retreat nor advance, her hands could only hang in the air, the young man blushed, extremely embarrassed.

Xiao Muxue turned her face away, and said: "My son-in-law, you go out first, I have to change clothes." While the sixth princess said this, a smile appeared between her brows.
